Despite being the whipping-dog for decades at the UN, the government of Israel is willing to give the organization the opportunity to show that it can, indeed, not dismiss, but rather, treat with respect Jerusalem’s report on the “torture and atrocities” experienced by its hostages at the hands of Hamas.
